Scenarios and venues in Nizhny Novgorod
Meeting formats and venues we work with: five-star hotels in the centre, signature restaurants, theatres, private spaces.
Dinner in Nizhny Novgorod
Dinner is the most frequent scenario in Nizhny. Routes unfold along two axes: Bolshaya Pokrovskaya with its dense concentration of restaurants and bars, and Rozhdestvenskaya with its merchant atmosphere and a view of the Strelka. For the business format — restaurants at the Sheraton and Mercure on Theatre Square. For an intimate one with city character — the Grand Hotel on Ilinskaya, a step from both streets. We book the table 5-10 days ahead, in CIPR days — two weeks.
